Monday starts the challenge.  Registration ends Monday at 1:30 eastern time (that’s 12:30 round here.)  I’m signed up.  My before pictures are taken–can’t wait to compare then to the afters!

Holly really recommends we write down somewhere what workout we are supposed to do each day ahead of time so we don’t have to think about little details and can just do it.  I never have until now. My last challenge my life was so nutty that I couldn’t remember what workout I had done just the day before and started to feel confused when it was time to workout again the next day.  Sometimes I used it as an excuse to skip.  Lame, I know.

So I made this:

It has 4 weeks of motivational phrases for me.  And places at the bottom to check off when I drink a class of water, take my vitamins and track my servings of produce and protein.

I printed it on 11×17 paper at Kinkos for $.25.  My frame was 11×14 so I used the cardboard backing to trim it to size.

I had the frame in my attic with a photo in it from my 4th year of marriage.  We looked like kids!  I was pregnant with my 3rd baby!  I did save the photo but don’t feel like hanging it up right now. Anyway, the glass makes the calendar a dry erase board.  But it gets better.

I put post it notes (dollar tree’s version anyway) over each square and then on the post it wrote the workout I was supposed to do for the day.  WOM A means workout of the month A and INT A means interval A.  I wrote in a previous post more specifically what that means, but this is enough to remind me what to do.

Then when I finish the workout I can peel off the sticky note and read the motivational phrase below like:  “You Go Girl!”  This is going to be fun!
